streptococcus is living because it is a bacteria

It is a contagious disease that kills people. Not very helpful.

There are a number of things which could potentially make everything you eat taste salty. These include:

a) potentially you are adding too much salt to your food during cooking

b) your local water supply may contain a lot of sodium (you could try filtering your water

c) old, corroding pans can add extraneous tastes to your food; perhaps see if the salty taste only occurs after using a particular pan

d) not rinsing off washing up liquid/dishwasher powder adequately

e) a dental infection

f) certain medications you may be taking

The most common cocci in humans are the normal flora of the skin. They can get into your body through cuts or scrapes on the skin.

By using aerobic respiration and anaerobic fermentation Yersinia pestis are able to produce and consume hydrogen gas for energy.

Dr. Robert Koch discovered the tuberculosis bacillus

Measles is an infection of the respiratory tract that can be caused by both a bacteria and a virus.

Most people think of the virus strain typically, as there is a vaccine for it, and people rarely need to be treated with antibiotics for the bacteria strain.

S. aureus is transmitted by direct contact with infected wound pus, skin to skin contact and contact with other objects (counter top, hand towels, ect.) that have been touched by an infected person.

Other microbes with genes for methicillin resistance could transfer those genes to the Staphylococcus aureus via different gene transfer methods (conjugation via sex pili, transduction, transformation)

A Staph infection is a symptom normally associated with surgery. It is a medical complication that comes from several different problems. Staph is not a virus; it is the common name for the bacterium officially known as Staphylococcus aureus. It is a very common bacterium that lives on skin normally and only becomes a problem if it enters the skin. It (as well as strep) is very common in wound infections; Staph is also found in boils, some food poisoning, some types of pneumonia, toxic shock syndrome, mastitis, endocarditis, infection of the hair follicles (folliculitis) to name a few. Hope this helps! Dr. B.

Because the way antibiotics treat those symptoms is by killing the bacteria that cause them. If the symptoms are caused by viruses, then antibiotics can't help since they are not made to be able to "kill" viruses, just bacteria.

Flu viruses are not really living organisms like bacteria are. So viruses must be inactivated rather than killed. Antibiotics can neither kill nor inactivate viruses. They are created to be used to kill only specific bacteria, they do not kill every kind of bacteria, either. That is why there are so many different kinds of antibiotics.

Antibiotics can treat flu-like symptoms caused by some bacteria, because the right antibiotics can kill bacteria. So although flu like symptoms are similar to those of the flu, they are caused by different microbes so are not cured in the same way.

Mostly from not washing your hands frequently enough. All we have to do is touch something that is infected, then touch food that is placed into our mouths ... bingo ... infected with germs.

Germs can also enter the body through cuts, by breathing, or by food that has bacteria. Its not necessary for your hands to have disease and only then can the germ enter.

No , aspirin does not kill Bacteria .

Of the trillions of bacteria that inhabit ourselves, the harmful ones only 'gain ascendency' when the rest are depleted.

i) Clostridium deficile;

ii) unusual versions of E. coli;

iii) what used to be called 'just' Staphylococcus A - is now very unfortunately known as MRSA - Multi-antibiotic Resistant Staphylococcus A.

Viral infections are harder to treat than bacterial infections because bacterial infections can be treated with antibiotics, while viruses cannot

Fungal infectons are difficult to treat because of the nature of fungi. They are phylogenetically very closely related to animals and have a very similar biochemical makeup to animals. In treating an internal fungal infection it is difficult to find a drug that kills the fungus and not the animal. Most fungi are killed by the immune system, and if it is impossible for the immune system to kill the fungus on its own, then the animal is likely to not survive.

Bacteria on the other hand are prokaryotic, making them very different from eukaryotic life (plants, animals, fungi, and protists). It is easy to target the bacteria cells as they are so biochemically different from our own. The only thing needed to do to kill a bacterium is to destroy the cell wall, which can be done using a number of drugs. Although it may be true that bacteria is easier to kill inside a human than fungus is, there are antibiotic resistant bacteria now.

Well, I've had them for 2.5 days and I'm still coughing up phlegm and feeling terrible - so it's not quick. I'm down for 7 days of Amoxcillin (250mg).

Only 1% of all Bacteria harm you, a lot of them help you and some of them you will never come in contact to.

They form an endospore. An endospore is a thick cell wall that helps protect them.

Endospores enable bacteria to lie dormant for extended periods of time when the environment is unfavorable (such as extreme temperatures, radiation, extreme pH levels, extreme pressures and harmful chemical agents). Then, when the environment becomes more favorable, the endospore can reactivate itself to the vegetative state.
